About
Anderson Organizing Systems (AOS)
AOS, founded and owned by Kit Anderson, CPO-CD, allows individuals,
nonprofits, companies and government offices to solve problems, meet
goals and realize missions by becoming better organized.
| What
AOS Offers |
- Consulting
AOS can come to your office or home, assess your situation, identify the
problem, propose a solution and implement it.
- Coaching
Coaching, typically a longer-term process than consulting, is a service
in which AOS guides an individual through a process or project through
intermediate milestones toward an end goal.
- Hands-On
Organizing
This
service is exactly what it sounds like. AOS
can clear your desk for productive work and custom design a filing
system for the papers that tend to pile up, then custom design a plan
to accomplish the tasks represented by the papers. Or perhaps the
clutter in your home prevents you from doing what you wish. AOS can
coach you to decisions you are comfortable with on keeping and
organizing vs. donating or recycling. Together we can make your home
functional and beautiful.
- Seminars
AOS seminars provide knowledge and skills that are practical, relevant,
and instantly useful. Each seminar allows time for solving the
appropriate real-life problems that the individual participants bring
from work or home. Seminars can be customized. A partial list of AOS
seminar topics:
-Conquering
Clutter
-File Anything in Your Home...And Find It Again!
-Managing Your Time: Getting Around the Obstacles
-Organizing Skills for Managers
-Overcoming Procrastination
-Coping with Distractions

AOS Projects
& Results
The following is a small sampling of AOS' many projects and the results
achieved:
- Provided hands-on organizing for a complex,
interconnected group of corporations in real estate development:
designed and implemented a centralized filing system. Result: company
personnel had access to previously unavailable vital documents, and the
corporations were able to discard almost 50% of accumulated papers.
- Coached the CEO of an Albuquerque nonprofit in
managing time, papers, and priorities. Result: savings in CEO's time,
staff time, and filing space.
- Consulted to a medical office manager with a
pathologically cluttered desk and similarly disorganized work life.
Submitted a report detailing solutions including how to rearrange the
office; how to declutter the office; how to implement a paper-flow
system for claims; how to schedule the archiving of records; how to
improve delegation skills; and how to implement additional cooperation
among office staff to keep the work space functional. Result: the
office manager gained the knowledge necessary to organize the office
and succeed in the job.
- Coached home-schooling mothers in time and
information management. Result: mothers were better able to plan
lessons and find the teaching materials they needed when they needed
them.

"Without
Kit, I'd still be searching for an hour rather than just a few minutes
to lay my hands on a file...It's not everyone who can make organization
and time management fun rather than a chore."
